Commercial Finance Manager - Burton-on-TrentFull-time, Permanent | 4 days on-site | Rapidly Growing Engineering Business

Alexander Daniels are proud to be partnering with a fast-growing, innovative engineering company who are on an exciting journey of expansion. We're looking for a Commercial Finance Manager to join their leadership team in Burton-on-Trent, taking ownership of financial performance across two divisions and driving real impact across the business.

This role is far from "just reporting the numbers" - you'll be the Finance Director's right hand, a trusted business partner to operational leaders, and the go-to person for turning data into decisions. You'll also get the opportunity to shape processes, mentor a small team, and influence strategy in a business that truly values finance at the heart of decision-making.

• Take ownership of management reporting across two divisions.

• Partner with project managers, influencing budgets, spend, and profitability.

• Lead and develop a small, ambitious finance team.

• Drive month-end close, including reconciliations and adjustments.

• Unlock cash and working capital improvements through smarter billing processes.

• Deliver deep-dive financial analysis to support margin growth and operational efficiency.

• Oversee overhead reporting, cash forecasts, and strategic financial planning.

• Collaborate with senior stakeholders, ensuring finance drives better decision-making.

• A fully qualified accountant (ACA / CIMA / ACCA).

• Experience within a project-based environment (engineering, construction, facilities or similar).

• Strong Excel and systems knowledge - someone who can make numbers talk.

• A natural communicator who enjoys business partnering and working closely with non-finance stakeholders.

• Willingness to travel to other sites a couple of times a month.

• Energy, adaptability, and the confidence to thrive in a fast-paced, growing business.

This is an opportunity to join a business that's going places - where your input won't just be appreciated, it will directly shape the future of the company.
